• We are volume shippers. Direct negotiations have been satisfactory in the past.. What can a freight forwarder do for us?

Carriers have logistics problems. With many years of experience in dealing with major carriers, we know how carriers set pricing and what cargo is most valuable to them. Most carriers price on the principle of variable costs . We understand this and use it to negotiate rates that will be optimal for client and carrier.

• Service is an important consideration. Will we be compromising service to save a few dollars on freight?

No.. Our focus is to provide our clients with options for transportation of their cargo. Price and service points are defined in all of our presentations. You make the choice.

• Can you provide better service levels?

It's a well known fact, many technical aspects of carriers services have improved but customer service has declined. Thakur Shipping Agency bridges the gap between client service requirements and carrier offerings.

• How much will it cost?

All charges are transparent. There are no hidden markups or averaging of carrier rates. Most of our revenue accrues from carrier commissions on cargo bookings, and the provision of value added service. All of our billing includes itemized costs unless covered by a flat fee or retainer. Our clients make a choice based on up front quotations with no surprises.
